1. An extra roll caddy for toilet paper and the like which comprises: a) an adjustable auxiliary holder for dispensing an auxiliary roll of toilet paper therefrom, wherein said adjustable auxiliary holder includes: i) a telescopic back section having two interconnecting slide friction segments, so as to adjust to various sized existing fixed toilet paper holders; ii) a pair of side sections, each extending at a right angle from one of said slide friction segments with each said side section having a hole for supporting an auxiliary roller for the auxiliary roll of toilet paper; and iii) means for mounting said back section to a flat vertical wall; and b) means for adjustable mounting said adjustable auxiliary holder to a roller in an existing fixed toilet paper holder on the flat vertical wall, so that in one instance said adjustable auxiliary holder can be positioned above the existing fixed toilet paper holder and in another instance said adjustable auxiliary holder can be positioned below the existing fixed toilet paper holder.
2. An extra roll caddy for toilet paper and the like as recited in claim 1, wherein said adjustable mounting means includes: a) a pair of elongated support legs; b) means for adjusting each said support leg horizontally and vertically to one said side section of said adjustable auxiliary holder; c) a pair of arm members, with each said arm member having a hole at one end for engagement with the roller in the existing fixed toilet paper holder; and d) means for adjusting each said arm member horizontally and vertically to one said support leg.
3. An extra roll caddy for toilet paper and the like recited in claim 2, wherein each said first adjusting means includes: a) said respective side section having a vertical slot; b) said respective support leg having a horizontal slot at one end thereof; c) a square pin friction fastener having a large circular head at one end and a small rectangular head at an opposite end with fits through said vertical slot in said side section and said horizontal slot in said support leg; d) a curved spring washer having a rectangular aperture which fits over said small rectangular head of said square pin friction fastener; and e) a flat lock washer having a rectangular aperture which fits over said small rectangular head of said square pi friction fastener, so that when said lock washer is rotated ninety degrees it will retain said square pin friction fasten thereto.
4. An extra roll caddy for toilet paper and the like recited in claim 3, wherein each said second adjusting means includes: a) said respective support leg having a vertical slot approximately midway thereof; b) said respective arm member having a longitudinal slot with an enlarged circular portion at one end thereof opposite from said hole; c) a square pin friction fastener having a large circular head at one end and a small rectangular head at an opposite end, which fits through said vertical slot in said support leg and said longitudinal slot in said arm member; d) a curved spring washer having a rectangular aperture which fits over said small rectangular head of said square pin friction fastener; and e) a flat lock washer having a rectangular aperture which fits over said small rectangular head of said square pin friction fastener, so that when said lock washer is rotated ninety degrees it will retain said square pin friction fastener thereto.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
